How Not to use Facebook...

I get real tired of people who only post their business opportunity.
They don't comment anything worthwhile or on any kind of personal level.

We all have some sort of busines (online, mlm, brick-n-morter) to promote, but there is a classy way to do it and a spammy way to do it.

As in life, so too with Social Networks - It truly does go around.
We can make our (facebook) world anyway we want it.

When we see friends that only spam - and never converse - De-friend them. Kick them out into the cold. They show no social-redeeming value. When we see someone of value, we should add them as a friend, check out their links in their profile, subscribe +/or add to their youtube, myspace, and twitter.

Don't stop at subscribing:
Comment on their facebook wall.
Edify them by posting something positive to a another friend's wall.
Bookmark them! Ping their site.
Subscribe to their RSS feed.

These are all forms of Social Networking currency. You don't have to join everyone's business oportunity or buy their product. By doing some or all of these things - you can put a form of money in their pocket.

We should all strive to do that for each other - that's what real friends do for each other.

If we raise up the good people in our Networks and push down the spammy ones, the cream WILL rise to the top for those who truly "get" the social networking thing.
